Vintage Retro Elgin Auto 17 Jewels (RM350)






This is one of the new baby i got, Vintage Elgin Auto, this is not a gold filled watch, only the colour is gold, parts of the case colour faded, but the dial inside is prefect and so is the engine. I happen to take the photo of the engine using my phone when i bring it for my watchmarker friend to inspect the engine. Is one of the old model engine, as the centre of the engine is using clip instead of screw. No scrathes at the crystal, worth keeping :) The gold colour engine look wonderful and shinny. This is an American brand swiss engine watch.

I went to Japan recently, most of the watch shop are selling Elgin and other American brand watch, and of cause Seiko, Orient and Citizen :) but Rado, Titoni, Oris, Tissot are not easy to find over there. Maybe different country have their own type of watch they like to buy and keep.

Remark: Collection/Sale (RM350)
